Anyone who has an ep (or season) to catch up with - Sci-Fi is showing a Heroes marathon today. But, I'm not so sure about order... they're already at the Peter/Claire/Sylar showdown at the high school and that seems pretty far along for 9a E. Anyway... yay, show!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The order is completely weird, and they're skipping episode 8.

Our wings are not tired.
From the schedule on my tv it looks like it starts at 9EDT with Homecoming (#9) and goes in order through Landslide (#22), then shows the first one instead of the last.

What is even happening?
What the heck is the 'mystery sock'? I was reading the write-ups of the MarsInvestigations.net staff visit to the set of Veronica Mars. One of the writers referenced the 'mystery sock' and said readers who didn't catch the reference haven't been watching Heroes.
I haven't missed an episode of Heroes, yet.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
"Mystery sock" is I think the TWOP-ism for how Hiro pronounces "Mr. Isaac."

What is even happening?
Thanks, Micole. That makes sense. So it isn't that I haven't been watching -- it's that I wasn't reading the TWoP recaps.

OK, so I haven't watched a lot of the earlier parts of the season since the weeks that they aired, and I was running around a lot today, so I called up my DVR'd episodes.
I'm watching "Hiros" and just realized the similarities between the first conversation between Hiro and Nathan and their later reunion in New York. "Flying man," of course, *whoosh* with the hand motion, Nathan's hushed nudging to be quiet at one point, Hiro repeating the initial louder proclamation only softer in response, all there. I love it. And yes, this is probably something everyone realized when their reunion initially aired, but I just love how everything comes together on this show.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Wow did Mohinder sound different in the pilot.

I didn't pick up on those details, Monique. Neat.

I was just discussing with Monique something I noticed during the marathon on SciFi. (Though why they're airing it in the order they are is still a mystery to me.) There's a moment when Isaac is in the diner with Hiro and Ando and he tells them about the man who explodes. Hiro responds, "How do you stop an exploding man?" Which had me all geeking out about the title of the finale.
Also, when Nathan comes face to face with Linderman in the kitchen, and Linderman's making his pot pies, he tells Nathan, "in two years, you'll be in the White House...a heartbeat away from the presidency." It made me wonder how exactly Nathan ended up as president. From that comment, it doesn't sound like he was directly elected.
Now I wish we could see a 2.5 Years Gone episode. I'm very curious about the exact series of events that led to his presidency.
